General Earwa / "Death came whirling down"

In my reading of Old English poetry and sagas I remember at one point hearing that phrase "death came whirling down" repeated in a similar manner to when R. Scott Bakker used it in his combat passages.
It may have been the Battle of Malden that I remember reading it. Does anyone know if Bakker drew influence from that old style of storytelling?
